Objectives

As economies continue to evolve into one large market, managers must plan and operate their business from a global perspective. The imperative for management education is to train leaders who thrive in this environment and contribute to its success. Students who fulfill the requirements of both institutions will be awarded two MBA degrees, one from each institution.

   

About CUMBA   About HEC MBA
  

CUMBA is under the Faculty of Business Administration of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It has been the pioneer in business education in Hong Kong and the first university to establish a full-time MBA degree program back in 1966.

Our Faculty of Business Administration has been consistently endorsed by numerous accreditation schemes, including CEMS in Europe and the most influential AACSB International. We are also the first business school outside North America to establish a Chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the international honor society for business and management programs.

Our insistence on quality and innovation continues to strengthen us as one of the leading business schools in Asia. The achievement is reflected in our 4100 MBA graduates, many of whom are successful business leaders holding prominent management positions in local and overseas corporations.

The HEC MBA Program trains high-potential managers to assume positions of international business leadership. Located in the heart of Europe, just outside Paris, our program offers the best of all worlds: its human class size of 200 participants, combined with its ideal 16-month program length allows participants to engage in a transformative learning experience that will give them the tools to achieve their personal and professional goals. Fully accredited by AMBA, EQUIS, and AACSB, the HEC MBA Program is consistently ranked among the top ten European MBA programs and the top eighteen programs worldwide.

HEC MBA participants represent over 55 different nationalities and pool more than 1,000 years of professional experience in a wide range of industries and functions. Our participants develop a multicultural perspective by working in close collaboration with classmates from around the world, and our graduates are uniquely qualified to take on leadership positions in global organizations. At the HEC MBA, we understand that, in order to lead the businesses of tomorrow, our participants must master their communication skills, sharpen their intuitive intelligence, and develop an ethical vision of leadership that encompasses a strong commitment to developing sustainable business strategies.
